As part of fixing failing third-party tests, this PR significantly
rearchitects their specification and execution.
Third-party tests are now specified in a much more flexible format allowing
more customization on a per-package level. In addition, third-party tests are
now used to auto-generate a Github Actions workflow to perform the tests in
parallel. This not only gives faster feedback on PRs, but will also allow us
to more quickly narrow down on which packages are failing. An additional
workflow also confirms that local execution of third-party tests is consistent
with the Github Actions version. This workflow only runs when tests/thirdparty
itself is changed.
Currently `avo` uses `BP` as a standard general-purpose register. However, `BP` is used for the frame pointer and should be callee-save. Under some circumstances, the Go assembler will do this automatically, but not always. At the moment `avo` can produce code that clobbers the `BP` register. Since Go 1.16 this code will also fail a new `go vet` check.
This PR provides a (currently sub-optimal) fix for the issue. It introduces an `EnsureBasePointerCalleeSaved` pass which will check if the base pointer is written to by a function, and if so will artificially ensure that the function has a non-zero frame size. This will trigger the Go assembler to automatically save and restore the BP register.
In addition, we update the `asmdecl` tool to `asmvet`, which includes the `framepointer` vet check.
Updates #156
This makes it easier to debug avogen: when you emit invalid syntax, you can inspect the generated file to determine what went wrong, instead of having only gofmt's error to work with.
Adds a regression test based on klauspost/compress#186. This necessitated some related changes:
* Mark "RET" as a terminal instruction
* printer refactor to maintain compatibility with asmfmt
* Tweaks to other regression tests to ensure they are run correctly in CI
Updates #100#65#8
Before printing a comment, remove trailing whitespace. Generation would output `// ` for empty comments. So we trim the whitespace off the end before printing.
Adds support for a `CancellingInputs` instruction flag, to indicate cases like `XORQ R10, R10` where the instruction actually does not depend on the value of `R10` at all.
Closes#89
Previously aliases were stored in a map which was causing
non-deterministic code generation (see recent build failures). This diff
changes to a slice to avoid this problem.
Updates #50
The Go assembler merges MOVD/MOVQ instruction forms. The logic in the
avo instruction loader was discarding the MOVD forms. This diff should
merge them correctly.
Updates #50
We depend upon data files from golang arch sub-repo and the Opcodes XML
database (behind PeachPy). This change includes their LICENSE files.
Updates #22
